Kirk Shooting Suspect Had ‘Leftist Ideology’ But Motive Unclear, Utah Gov. Says

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said Sunday that authorities still do not know the motive in the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, but that interviews with relatives and those close to suspect Tyler Robinson have revealed new information, including that he had a “leftist ideology.”

Robinson, who was arrested after a 33-hour manhunt, has not been cooperating with authorities, Cox said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Relatives told investigators that Robinson, 22, had a “very different” ideology than that of his conservative family, Cox said on NBC. “There clearly was a leftist ideology,” he said, without providing further details. State voter records show Robinson is registered as an unaffiliated voter, while his parents are registered Republicans.

Cox said the suspect, who was once a straight-A student, appeared to have “radicalized” after dropping out of Utah State University — and seemed to spend a lot of time on “dark places of the internet.”
